For those take low fat HL milk, why not taking soya milk instead? U should buy a machine to have homemade soya milk or buy boxes of instant soya milk powder if u dont want to take those in market which is contains sweetness.

Dear secretsquirrel,
Thank you so much for your interest in my journal.
Apart from the protein they carries, diary milk and soya milk are quite different. Dairy milk contains essential nutrition like Calcium and Iodine. Calcium for bones and iodine is to increase one's metabolism.
Soya milk contains estrogen, though the amount might not be harmful but if taken daily, the numbers will add up. Increase of estrogen in body will result in the decrease of testosterone which is one of the most important hormones for bodybuilding.
Apart from that, Getting cartons of HL milk is convenient and manufacturers do not add sugar(even if they do amount will not be substantial) to milk. Packed Soy milk on the other hand might contains a lot more foreign entities.
U r right, I could make my own soy milk, but schedule just wont permit me to do so. As my gym is located in a shopping complex, groceries shopping is just a breeze for me.
Sadly to say, I eat out most of the time. The only things i can control when ordering out are the time of consumption, amount and what I eat. Though it might not be the best way, I think i'm discipline enough to still have a near clean diet plan. Frankly, the only food i control nowadays is my carbohydrate intake. Fat wise, i will do my best to choose monosaturated fat. It's important to have sufficient fat in our system in order to produce hormones and decrease body fat. Protein, I eat as much as I could.
I don't count calories as well. It's never precise. Plus it's just a pain in the butt to do it daily. My principle is to try my best to adapt my life with bodybuilding. Following others and go by the books ain't gonna be easy and one might give up earlier due to the obstacles. Why not choose to incorporate them into my life one step at a time instead of changing everything in one go aight?
The main purpose of my journal is to self motivate. Therefore I gotta record every milestones and try to break my personal best every time. It also keeps my diet plan in check.
The only enemy health has is oneself ~!
